Listening Now : Dead Heart Bloom – Better Than Most

Dead Heart Bloom, the American outfit comprising vocalist/bassist Boris Skalsky and guitarist Paul Wood, unveils their latest euphoric single, Better Than Most, as a prelude to their upcoming LP, Dream States. Marking their first release in four years, the track features psychedelic vocals harmonized with a trademark wall of sound guitars and an upbeat driving rhythm, occupying a sonic realm between early Tame Impala, Achtung Baby-era U2, and late-period Echo & the Bunnymen. With a self-reflective and confident tone, the song takes on a modern post-punk slant, cementing Dead Heart Bloom’s position at the intersection of nostalgia and contemporary musical exploration.
